Massive WiMax Network for India

An anonymous reader writes "Engadget reports that the largest Indian telecom company is planning to build a mobile WiMax network covering three states on the subcontinent capable of serving 250 million people. State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited is leaning on Soma Networks to build the broadband-speed network in response to government requirement that 20 million broadband lines be in service by 2010." Meanwhile I can't even get cable. Maybe it's time to move to India.

    "If you want that then stay the fuck in your country". You didn't just tell someone that if they want toilet paper then they need to stay the fuck out of India, did you? Because that's sure what it looks like to me.

    Would you have taken the same kind of comment from me if I was in the US and was asking for something that we Indians did over here? Yeah, I would. You want some ghee, garam masala, a tongue scraper? I'd send you to the local Indian store. I sure wouldn't tell you to go back to India, nor would anyone else with an ounce of common sense.
